Abstract
Functional decline predisposes to the need for home services and hospitalization [1] and impaired mobility is an independent predictor of falls and fall-related injuries in older adults [2]. Regular physical activity is important to older adults, there is substantial evidence that physical activity reduces the risk of falls and injuries from falls [3], and prevents or mitigates functional limitations [4, 5].
